Chapter 99: Make Money, Make Money
The night was falling, the stars were twinkling, in a remote corner of the Moonstone City Port.
At this moment, this usually sparsely populated corner is gathering many of Moonstone City's prominent figures.
Street open-air restaurants are surrounded by soft lights and warm fireworks.
In the small restaurant built on the street, the fire is roaring, the spatula is flying, and the aroma of food is wafting in the air, including the delicious seafood, the mellow barbecue, and the fresh vegetables.
In addition, the water elves kept carrying dishes and running back and forth between multiple dining tables.
"Water elf, serve the food quickly."
"Being able to have this meal means that my hard work this month has not been in vain."
"Water Fairy, give me a bottle of the strongest whiskey!"
"Boss, give me another portion of abalone in sauce!"
"Another serving of moonfish."
The diners sat around the table, enjoying this rare delicious feast.
[You cooked garlic moonfish today and gained 85 spiritual points. ]
"Why did it become like this? Why?"
Chen Qi asked from the bottom of his heart while waiting for Peilu.
His original idea was to cook and sell vegetables and learn the profession of chef at the same time.
But he never expected that he would become so popular!
Three days after opening, he was too busy to handle everything.
Therefore, he had to adopt the reservation system.
But despite this, with only one chef, it is still extremely busy.
So Chen Qi trained the deep sea water elves and asked No. 2 and No. 3, who had higher IQs, to cook together.
Number two is responsible for cutting the vegetables, and number three is responsible for flipping the wok.
Although this will reduce the quality of the food, it can greatly improve the efficiency of food delivery.
Chen Qi originally thought that if the quality declined, there would be fewer customers.
However, the restaurant became even more popular.
Many people eat just to tease the water elves.
There were even scalpers who rushed to buy up spots at his restaurant.
Chen Qi's restaurant was even featured in the Witch Times, and in the newspaper, it was called the Water Elf Restaurant.
“Why is it so popular?”
Chen Qi touched his head and sighed again.
The celebrity effect is so terrifying!
Moreover, this is the case when he did not deliberately raise the price.
Excluding costs, in the past twenty days, just by operating for about four hours every night, he earned more than 500,000 shells and 1,600 spiritual points.
Chen Qi picked up the account book and did the math.
The total income from running the restaurant, plus the income from selling will-o'-the-wisp fish and black pearls, is about two and a half million.
The Black Rabbit obtained a large amount of useless equipment, but due to the lack of formal channels, it was only sold for three million shells.
Plus the 1.5 million in cash on the Black Rabbit.
At one point, the cash in his hands reached more than 7 million shells.
However, the cost of the extraordinary road is a huge amount of money.
He went to the black market and only bought a good advanced meditation skill card and a most basic strength-based defense skill card. In an instant, three million shells disappeared.
Chen Qi now has only 4 million shell coins in savings.
For an ordinary person, this is enough to get married and buy a house.
But on the road to transcendence, this money can only create a tiny ripple.
Fortunately, once the marine animal farm is successfully built, it can provide sustainable income.
Chen Qi counted the accounts for tonight.
He could probably earn a hundred thousand shells from his stall tonight.
Although the restaurant is very popular, the unit price of food made with ordinary ingredients is too low.
Manpower is limited, and after several days of busy work, the Deep Sea Water Elf and he have reached their limits.
Also, the moonfish season is over.
The most expensive moonfish sold was only a little over 10,000 cowrie shells.
If you really want to make a lot of money as a chef, the best way is to make legendary extraordinary food.
For example, honey-roasted dragon meat, bone dragon rib soup and so on.
Chen Qi stood outside the boathouse and shook his head. There were still many things he wanted in the equipment market that he hadn't bought yet.
Seven million shells are still a long way from the goal of buying a big ship.
"Sister Pellew, this is the restaurant you mentioned. It feels so shabby, but the water elves here are very cute. I wonder if the boss will sell them."
"It seems they don't sell it. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll treat you."
At this time, two women walked onto the small houseboat.
It's finally here... Chen Qi crossed his arms and said, "Good evening, Peilu. What do you want to eat?"
I wonder if Pellegrini got any information about the cracks in the lamp phase today.
Perru said confidently:
"I'll get the fattest moonfish. Today, I'm going to treat my junior Lilith to a meal."
Junior? Chen Qi looked towards Perlu.
Next to Perru stood a 1.7-meter-tall young woman who wore round-rimmed black-framed glasses, had long, slightly curly black hair, and had a very good figure. She was also wearing a black retro ruffled long skirt.
Lilith, this seems to be the pen name of the editor-in-chief of Witch Times...Chen Qi thought about it.
Recently, Witch Times reported on his Water Fairy Restaurant, so he was very impressed.
Lilith greeted the water elf with an obsessed look and said:
"Hello, Mr. Chef, I like your water elves very much."
After a few brief greetings, Chen Qi served a dish of grilled spicy moonlight fish.
Perru and Lilith sat at the dinner table.
Chen Qi asked: "Pelue, did you really get the information about the Lighting Career Card?"
Perlu said mysteriously, "Yes, because this matter involves confidentiality, he will come to see you after you close the stall and there are fewer people."
He? Involving confidential information? Chen Qi looked confused.
As the Riddler Killer, Pellegrini rarely stated the other party's name and identity directly.
A second-level professional card of the Lighting Phase actually involves confidential information.
Chen Qi had a vague feeling of foreboding.
Then, Perlu secretly winked at Chen Qi.
Chen Qi took a breath.
What she meant was:
Get her guests drunk for me!
Perlu sat at the dining table and said to Lilith:
"Lilith, don't be polite, just eat as much as you can. Moonlight fish is the boss's specialty!"
Lilith took a careful sip and looked slightly puzzled.
tasty!
Pelle didn't cheat her!
Then, Perlu smiled and confidently picked up five bottles of high-strength wheat wine:
"Cheers! Lilith, congratulations on your new newspaper sales reaching a new high!"
“Thank you, Sister Pellew. The reason why my newspaper has reached a new high is because of the popularity of the Flower Witch.
After all, the name of the Witch Times is to commemorate the legendary witches.
Of course, this is inseparable from Sister Peilu's guidance."
"This has nothing to do with me. Cheers! By the way, how good are the sales of your Witch Times recently?"
The sales volume of newspapers determines the success or failure of the competition between them.
Lilith said softly, "Not much. The newspapers with pictures of cute girls and ladies didn't sell many copies."
A faint smell of gunpowder filled his little houseboat.
Chen Qi smacked his lips.
These two people are having a workplace drinking party here?
In the gaming forums, the two are rivals.
As the editor-in-chief of Witch Times, Lilith is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Perru.
Compared to Perru who tracks big news, Lilith is better at gossip and funny news.
Moreover, she has exquisite painting techniques and can make some unique artistic processing on the news characters she draws.
Especially some special parts.
Moreover, according to surveys conducted by some players.
Lilith seems to be the only ordinary person in the White Dove Newspaper.
Therefore, in the game forum, her nicknames are 'Editor-in-Chief of the Book' and 'Ordinary Person'.
And in the Bai Ge Newspaper, every year, an unimaginable legendary reward is given to the editor-in-chief with the highest sales!
Therefore, the sales war between the two can now be said to be fierce.
Now, since Pellew failed to catch the Flower Witch, the sales of the White Dove Times have plummeted.
Lilith, on the other hand, reported interesting stories about the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom, and sales hit a new high.
Chen Qi never expected this.
His small restaurant was able to gather two of the most talented people in the journalism industry.
Lilith smiled slightly:
"Sister Pellew, cheers!"
"cheers!"
"More strong liquor, Kai!"
After three rounds of drinking.
Perlu gave Chen another look.
Lilith's alcohol tolerance is actually on par with hers.
This amount of wine is not enough to make Lilith drunk!
"snort."
Two minutes later.
Perru fell down with a thud, drunk and unconscious.
"Trash—"
Lilith smiled grimly.
Then, she raised her head, blushed, and said to Chen Qi:
"Boss, are you selling your water elves?"
Chen Qi had a bad feeling and asked, "What do you want the water spirit for?"
“It’s very useful.”
Lilith answered honestly: "According to my observation, many nobles are learning the ways of playing of the Golden Bird Kingdom, and they need water elves to perform some special ways of playing.
Should you be able to understand the beauty of water elves?
They will give your water spirit a very generous sum of money."
"The beauty of water spirits? How to play????"
What are you talking about?
Chen Qi instantly frowned like an old man on the subway.
What the hell?
He underestimated the extent of the witch Kaito's perversion.
The water elf has been targeted by the rich woman.
As a competent master, Chen Qi had no interest in letting the deep sea elves experience the fame of forbearance and wealth.
After all, they are so well-behaved.
"No."
Chen Qi rejected Lilith's request.
"Really? What a pity?"
Lilith guzzled another bottle of wheat beer and also fell drunk.
These two people are so lame. Chen Qi cleaned up the table.
At this moment, it was late at night, the dock became extremely quiet, and there were even gusts of cold wind.
"Wakuwaku!"
Suddenly, a deep-sea sea elf jumped into his arms as if it had encountered some monster.
"???"
"Mr. Chef, would you mind coming out and talking for a moment?"
A steady, elderly male voice.
The guest that Perlu was talking about? Chen Qi turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
This was an elderly, white-haired man wearing a neat blue navy suit, with long white hair neatly tied behind his head.
He has a high forehead, a straight nose and a face full of wrinkles.
Chen Qi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the armband on the other person's shoulder.
Armband with five blue stars.
Chen Qi was secretly shocked.
The person that Perlu found was the admiral of the navy?
Happy May Day! ! Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
ps: I am repenting with my hands folded together. I was taken out for lunch at noon, so the update is late.
